If Obama indeed picks Joe Biden as his running mate, it would be a smart but transparent choice.
The choice would be an admission that he needs something or someone to beef up his foreign policy inexperience. The choice would also quite the criticism from McCain that the Obama ticket would be the wrong choice in these increasingly turbulant times abroad.
Remember what I said just a little while ago? The Clintons ain't done yet.
Today, both campaings (I thought Hillary did not have a campaign left) anounced that they made a joint decision, not as part of any negotiation, to place her name in nomination in Denver.
Of course she did not say no. She is honored to have her name placed in nomination, only to be defeated. That is Clinton logic. Lets honor her achievements by yet another defeat.
Don't be mad or concerned with Mark Penn suggesting a campaign strategy to attack Obama for not being American enough, whatever that means. He was doing what he was paid to do. Win at all cost.
The real story is that Hillary (Clinton) was torn between that strategy and others, even though she choose not to side with Penn. The key is...torn.
Why was there an issue. Why did she not fire Penn on the spot. Was the self proclaimed, "I am not a racist" Bill (Clinton) not ready to abandon that strategy?
Who said this? "In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic."
A. Bill Clinton
B. Al Gore
C. John Kerry
D. Barack Obama
E. John Edwards
I can hardly wait for the Olympics that have not even started to finish, so that we can watch PUMA disrupt the Democratic Convention in Denver, from the inside.
For those of you that have not heard about this group, it is comprised of angry "democrats" that are so upset that Hillary "stepped down" that they want to resurect her nomination at the convention or put their support behind McCain, by using such innovative techniques as pledging not to vote in November.
OK, regardless of whether you hate her, like her, or are indifferent (notice I did NOT say “don’t know her”, cuz come on, who doesn’t know her!), Paris Hilton has shot back at McCain for using her in the “Celebrity” ad. The Paris "ad" is fall-down hilarious because she is using actual sarcasm and a bit of wit to completely make fun of “the old wrinkly white-haired guy”. Methinks that Paris’s mother had a hand in this, it is just too damn clever and funny.
McCain accuses Obama of playing the Race card.
Obama claims that race has no place in the campaign.
The sky is really yellow.
Please, please, stop the nonesense. Where there is color, there is friction. It is a reality that only the honestly biggoted people have openly discussed and admitted.
The rest of us claim that color does not matter. It does matter to almost everyone. Maybe that is why they call it the presidential race. OK, that was stupid.
But seriously, how we ever get past this issue if we dont admitt that it exists.
Well, folks, Senator Obama has now made his race an issue in the campaign. His comments about not looking like the presidents on the dollar bills is clearly calculated to say that those who do not vote for him are racists. This, from the guy who is supposed to unite us. A strange way of bringing about unity.
By the way, how many presidents are on the dollar bill?
I propose that we cancel the November presidential election, declare Senator Obama president, immediately, and allow him to take office now. On his first day in office, he can end all wars. On his second day, he can end global warming. On the third day, he will tear down all the walls. On the fourth day, he will give all people free medical care. On the fifth, he will roll back the ocean tides. On the sixth, he will save the universe. And, on his seventh day in office, he can rest.
You think its over? You really think that Bill and Hillary have taken time off recently to just relax and have put their bid for the White House behind them?
I don't think so!!
Remember, Obama does not have enough pledged delegates to win the nomination. It is just a projection, by CNN nevertheless.
The decision has yet to be made how much time Bill and Hillary will be given to speak. She has not withdrawn her nomination and may just want that roll call to demonstrate how loved she really is.
